Led To Other WorldsBy The Girls She Curled
WithinI Took Their Skins To See HerBe My
Mannequin

Be My Mannequin

I Cannot RememberHow It Was That
We First MetCurve Of Moon And Haunted ShoreThe
Stars Were Not Those Heaven Sent

Did We Come
TogetherAt Masked Palatial BallsIn Silks And Flesh And
LeathersOr Did We Come At All?I Dreamt A
Midnight CastleThe Eerie Song Of WolvesAnd Eyes That
Danced With FireAs They Have Forever More

Our Rites
Of SinHave Long Fathered A HymnTo Burden HimWhom
By Slip Of After WhimAt GenesisDressed Her Like
The WindIn Autumn GowsThat Pinned Her DownTo Be
My Mannequin

Be My Mannequin

Always Poised On WinterBut Never
Would She BreakMy Lovecraft And Black Witch HeartThat
Pounded In Her Wake

We Kissed On Distant BalconiesA
Law Unto Her OwnThirteenth Dark CommandmentOf Figures Pressed
To StoneTurning Cream With FantasiesThat God Alone Would
KnowWe Graced The VomitoriumWith The Sweet Excess Of
Rome

Flagrant In The PastOur Names Were Deeply CarvedOn
The Tree Of Life In Long Dead Languages

Led
To Other WorldsBy The Girls She Curled WithinI
Took Their Skins To See HerBe My Mannequin

Be
My Mannequin

I Tongued The Nuns At LouviersBut Not
One Word PossessedHer Divine Right, An ArchetypeFor Mortal
Goddesses...
